• Where to Fish on Reservoir Number Two

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Snohomish County: Chinook salmon, pink salmon, Coho salmon and largemouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Reservoir Number Two gives up more to patience than to distance.

March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Time your trip to Reservoir Number Two by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. There are toilets half a mile off. Forgotten Creek Nature Area runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Reservoir Number Four, 0.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Reservoir Number Two locally before you travel.
